OK, help me out here, Arthur-supporters. Why on earth would JKR make
Arthur the next MoM?
Sure, he's got some experience in the Ministry. And yes, he's a good
guy, a supporter of Harry.
That's why I *can't* see him as Minister. Look, with each book Harry's
world has become darker and his task has become harder. Making Arthur,
a supporter of Harry, Minister of Magic would be simply too easy for
Harry plotwise.
IMHO JKR will continue alienating Harry from those who care for him,
and the MoM will continue to be ineffective, if not an outright
opponent.
And frankly I'll believe there's a new Minister in Book 6 only if/when
I see it in print. But Arthur as MoM? Not a chance.
